Chapter 22: The carp leaps over the Dragon Gate

Recap

“Pa!”

In the silence, the sound of a glass breaking was particularly obvious.

Zhang Wenfan stared at Rong Yu’s face, the goblet slipped from his hand, and all the color drained from his face.

This sharp sound broke the silence and made many people look sideways.

Father Ding frowned. Zhang Wenfan really is an unworthy thing that should be kept away from the public eye. He lost his composure simply after seeing an esteemed person. How could he be worthy of Weiwei?

Zhang Wenfan couldn’t care less about this. Seeing that familiar face was enough to scare him out of his wits.

Chi Yu…why is Chi Yu here?

He should be dead! Chi Yu’s inner dan was poached and sold in the vegetable market. How could he come back in good condition and still appear next to Mr. Gu?

But no one can answer his questions.

Gu Minghuai glanced at Zhang Wenfan’s pale face as if he had seen a ghost. He looked away and pursed his lips slightly, making the lines even more stern.

As expected, Xiao Yu’er knows this person.

Judging from this reaction, he is afraid this person did something wrong to Xiao Yu’er.

Rong Yu didn’t even look at Zhang Wenfan. He was used to having a feast and having fun, but this was his first time attending a banquet in modern society, and he felt that his surroundings were fresh.

The living room is not as big as Mr. Gu’s house, and the well-dressed people look boring, but the cake on the table looks delicious.

This curious gaze does not make him look like a countryman who has never seen the world, but rather… like a king inspecting his territory.

The more Rong Yu ignored him, the more Zhang Wenfan felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

“Why are you so nervous that even your hands slipped? Mr. Gu doesn’t eat people.” Ding Weiwei felt strange and reminded him, “Your clothes are wet. Go to the dressing room to get changed.”

When the glass fell down, the red wine stained Zhang Wenfan’s suit, making him look miserable. He stayed there for a while, then slowly said “en” and went to the washroom in despair.

This episode came to an end for the time being, and no one cared about Zhang Wenfan’s departure.

However, many people rushed forward and did not miss the opportunity to talk to Gu Minghuai. These so-called banquets are large-scale socialization occasions, and finding the right opportunity can help a lot of big businesses.

Gu Minghuai held Rong Yu’s hand, and the two were surrounded by the crowd. Countless people came to propose a toast, and many asked about his identity during the conversation.

Gu Minghuai didn’t hide it and said bluntly: “This is my partner.”

The others were shocked for a moment, then realized that it was indeed the case, and began to praise Rong Yu profusely. Then the topic changed and they started talking about business with Gu Minghuai. Gu Minghuai was very serious about his business. When discussing with others, he kept using business jargon one after another, which gave Rong Yu a headache.

Rong Yu had no interest in this kind of frivolous social interaction. He quietly tugged on Gu Minghuai’s sleeve: “I want to eat that cake.”

The food at the banquet was freely available to all the guests. Gu Minghuai was in the midst of a business discussion when he heard the words and whispered: “Wait a moment.”

Rong Yu was ignorant about his surroundings and replied: “I can’t wait. I’m hungry.”

Gu Minghuai thought for a while and turned back to the person he was talking to: “Sorry…” He has to take Xiao Yu’er to eat, and they will discuss the matter next time.

“It’s okay. I won’t disturb you, just continue.” Rong Yu said immediately, “I can go by myself.”

Gu Minghuai was worried about being separated from Xiao Yu’er and held his hand tightly: “No.”

Rong Yu turned his head: “The cake is over there, I won’t leave your sight.”

The person who was talking to Gu Minghuai was surprised: “Mr. Gu and his partner have a very good relationship.”

They were inseparable, not wanting to be any further from each other even if they were only dozens of steps apart.

Gu Minghuai was helpless: “He worries me. I have no choice but to take more care of him.”

The other person: “…” This is dog food.*

Speaking of this, Gu Minghuai also took a step back: “Don’t leave the hall.”

“Okay.”

Rong Yu let go of his hand and ran to eat the cake.

Gu Minghuai watched him run to the dining table and pick up the small plate with the cake, then he looked away and said politely: “Let’s continue.”

Rong Yu sat on the sofa with the cake, lowered his head and scooped out the cream with a fork.

A couch can accommodate many people. Mother Ding was sitting alone when suddenly a young man sat down next to her, so close to her that she could almost touch his elbows.

Mother Ding instinctively moved to the side.

“The cakes at Madam’s house are delicious.” The young man beside her suddenly said, “Can I ask who was the chef?”

Mother Ding paused and turned around to see the boy brought over by Gu Minghuai. His head was lowered as he concentrated on eating the cake, his thick eyelashes drooping and not looking in her direction.

She asked with uncertainty: “Are you talking to me?”

Rong Yu then looked up at her and rolled his eyes: “Yes. The cake is so delicious, I can’t help it.”

He has a bright and sunny smile, the type that is loved by the elders. As long as Rong Yu wants to, he can easily win the favor of anyone.

The way he eats the cake is not vulgar, but also very elegant, which shows that he has good upbringing. Although it was a bit rude not to stop eating when talking to the elders… Mother Ding would not be offended, she thought the boy was very straightforward and cute.

What’s more, it’s a person brought over by Mr. Gu, so they can’t be bad.

“Of course. It’s a cake chef invited from Italy. If you’d like, I’ll have someone give you their business card.” Mother Ding shared without hesitation.

Rong Yu expressed his gratitude and casually switched to talk about topics that women were interested in. The two chatted happily.

Three minutes later, Mother Ding already regarded Rong Yu as half a son, with eyes full of kindness and love.

Rong Yu suddenly changed the topic and his expression became serious: “I want to tell Madam about something.”

Mother Ding smiled and asked, “What’s the matter?”

She didn’t think the young boy would say anything impactful.

Rong Yu said: “Zhang Wenfan is gay.”

Mother Ding’s smile froze.

“How do you know?”

Rong Yu said without changing his expression: “He is my ex-boyfriend.”
